500gchickencleaned and marinated with salt (see notes)
Instructions
Wash and clean the chicken pieces and add salt. Keep it marinated for at least 30 minutes
Now in a pot or pressure cooker, add the onions, ginger, garlic, green chillies, tomatoes, broccoli florets, carrots, peppercorns, turmeric powder and coriander leaves. Give this a mix
Next add the chicken pieces and water. Mix nicely and close the pot. If you're using a pressure cooker cook it for 30 minutes or till the chicken is tender.
Check for salt
To make a creamy soup
Separate the chicken pieces. You can shred them into strands using a fork or cut small pieces from them.
Take the soupy mix and blend together in a mixer grinder to get a creamy texture.
Add the chicken pieces , add pepper powder if required and serve.
To make clear soup
As mentioned in the notes, if you want a clear soup make sure you chop all the vegetables into smaller pieces before cooking.
Once soup is cooked, separate the chicken pieces and cut them into small pieces.
Pour the soup in a bowl after cooking, add the chopped chicken pieces, add pepper powder if required and serve hot.
Notes
I added the chicken pieces just as it is and also put in big pieces of onion, tomatoes, broccoli because I wanted to blend the mix in the end to enjoy it as a creamy soup. If you like clear soups more, you may finely chop the vegetables and cut the cooked chicken into small pieces to have it that way.
